Shadow Blade: Reload

Developed by Dead Mage, Shadow Blade: Reload is the enhanced version of the previously released Shadow Blade on Mobile platforms. Currently available on Steam, Shadow Blade: Reload is a side-scrolling action platformer where players take on the role of Kuro - the blade of shadow.

Reload includes a full campaign featuring 7 chapters with a comic book style story. There is also a challenge mode to test your skills and compete for leaderboard positions. The Steam version includes a full blown level editor where you can create and share levels with friends.

"Shadow Blade is an action-platformer set in a visually striking world where the ancient teachings of ninjas and samurai clash upon a modern landscape. Sprint through stages littered with traps, slaying enemies along your path without hesitation as Kuro, the blade of shadow!

The medallion is almost made whole again and it falls upon Kuro?s shoulders to restore balance. All his training has led up to this one moment, where the fate of the world will rest in his blood-stained hands."
